Sardinia chooses open-source software
The regional government of Sardinia, an Italian island usually thought of as socially and economically backward, has approved a bill designed to promote the use of open-source software throughout the region, a regional government official said Monday.
The bill was given a green light by the center-left regional government just over a week ago, and the administration hopes it will be passed into law by the regional council (parliament) by next January, Massimo Dadea, a councillor responsible for general affairs, said in a telephone interview.
